fun current event

Here is my second current event for 1-9-09:

Article, "Last Fan Sitting Nabs 15-Years Worth Of Wake Tickets"

Current Event

In this article the author explains the story of Bob Yakos, who outlasted 23 other very dedicated Wake Forest fans to win 15 years worth of season tickets for the football team, about $22,000 worth. He outlasted the other fans for three days and then won a three round trivia contest about the 2008 season. Yakos won the contest over nine other fans that outlasted the elements. This is all a part of Wake Forest's campaign to sell licenses and season tickets and increase fan morale.

I think this is cool that he is dedicated enough to sit out in snow and sleet for three days to win season tickets for him, his kids, and some of his closest family members.
